I'm curious what people think of making hardware specifically to work with Microsofts whimsical graphics standard DirectX. Granted NVidia supports OGL but ATI doesn't (which I think is dumb but that's just my opinion I guess).
Here is an article about the new Nvidia FX (pixel shaders and programable stuff galor in it). They don't directly compare it with the new Radion chip from ATI but they do mention some differences and such.
The chip adds an FPU as well it eats as much as a P3 in terms of power. this doesn't include the 128M of memory it supports either. Power budget for this chip is 35 watts for the GPU and 15 watts for the memory. 8 4Mx32 chips and a 128bit bus are supported. Memory is a DDR500 interface.
